There are many benefits to learning guitar.
Extensive studies have shown that children display long-term positive results from playing musical instruments. In fact, the benefits of music have been proven more effective in strengthening abstract reasoning skills in younger and older children than does teaching them computers skills.
Kids aren’t the only ones who can reap the benefits of learning an instrument. Adults will also gain tremendously from playing a musical instrument. Music has been shown to reduce stress, increase productivity, develop creativity, and build confidence.
Along the way you will be learning the fundamentals of guitar. Moving onto some chords enabling you to play songs, some theory and some sight reading.
​
Lessons are customisable. Every players path is different. Everyone has different musical tastes and styles. I will guide you onto your way of being the player you want to be.

Testimonials
When I started getting lessons from Jon I didnt know a thing about guitar. Jon taught me from scratch and I'm now
able to play songs which I thought I would have never have been able to play. Jon has the way of explaining things that make it easier for me to understand and get to playing the things that I like. I've been playing two years and have enjoyed every minute. I would recommend Jon to anyone wanting to learn guitar.
I've learnt guitar from Jon for around a year. Some of the things I starting to learn was picking, learning chords
and strumming. I can now play some of my favorite bands like Green Day. I was also learning to play solos and improvise. I learnt things like the pentatonic scale and ways how to put that into songs.
When I went to Jon I had a bit of musicical knowledge because I play a bit of piano and sing a bit.
Jon was able to
explain how these musical principles that I already know and apply them to guitar. Some of these things were chord construction and harmony. Also where the notes were on the guitar when I read notation and also some techniques which are unique to guitar such as bending the string and vibrato.
I started going to Jon quite a few years ago now. When I first started learning from Jon I knew a few chords and
a couple of songs. With Jon's guidance I've learnt more chords and techniques and now I have a book of around 100 songs that I can play. I also started singing. Thanks to Jon's help I've been a part of many open mic nights and also played my first gig. Jon is a very skilled teacher.
